I looked at those scroll-in from the side menus. Very neat but also confusing.

How would it be implemented on a site? How would a visitor know to put their mouse where the menu is? From what I saw there's just a little corner of the menu window showing. If I saw that on a site I might think it's more likely a bug than a scrolling feature.

Hey - that menu is pretty cool, however, I'm looking for a vertical menu.

Any more suggestions? I like the drop down menu - but for some odd reason, Netscape is giving me one problem. The problem is that it "cuts" off the drop down menu. For example, one says "History & Info" and Netscape says "History & I" but when you click the menu, it shows the full word... kinda wierd.

Anyways - any more help out there? Is the drop down menu the only reasonable thing that will work out for me?

What about a drop-down menu "tree"? You can find them in DHTML and Javascript, whichever suits you. They work something like Windows Explorer. You click on a main file heading and the sub-headings drop down.

I wouldnt recommend doing ANY client side scripting for this menu. I mean, dhtml or javascript. For one, it will be even more complicated to change over tons of content. Second, it won't work on all browsers correctly. Since you said you don't have a lot of programming experience, I recommend just sticking with SSI.
